«Andy Williams, the affable, boyishly handsome crooner who defined both easy listening and wholesome, easygoing charm for many American pop music fans in the 1960s, most notably with his signature song, ‚Moon River,‘ died on Tuesday night at his home in Branson, Mo. He was 84.»

«Andy Williams, who has died aged 84, was one of the last great American crooners and had huge hits in the 1960s and 1970s with smooth renditions of such songbook standards as ‚Can’t Help Falling In Love‘ and ‚Days Of Wine And Roses‘; in a career spanning more than half a century he recorded 18 gold albums and hosted his own popular television show.»
